Discover coral reefs, mangrove jungles and beautiful beaches

The Andaman Islands sit within the warm waters of the Bay of Bengal. This astonishing archipelago consists of more than 500 islands and islets, though only 36 are open to visitors. Here, you can get off the tourist trail and experience a unique culture where both tribal and conservationist values hold sway in harmony.

The Andaman Islands offer the perfect escape for those who are still adventurers at heart. A scuba-diving trip among the spectacular coral reefs will reveal an ongoing series of marvels. A huge number of marine creatures find their home here, from the majestic rays and sharks to the intriguing coral-dwelling fish. The islands themselves are full of volcanic mountains, dense jungles and teeming mangrove swamps where you can find all manner of creature. Discover a huge array of endemic birds and tropical butterflies, as well as feral elephant and perhaps even a salt-water crocodile.

At the end of a day of excitement, there’s no better way to relax than on the soft sands of a pristine beach. Enjoy the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing and simply letting the hours while themselves away. If you come in season you can also experience an unforgettable nocturnal spectacle as hawksbill, green and leatherback turtle climb out of the sea to nest.
